The aggressively appearing Bochumers continued to set accents. After a Stöger corner, Philipp Hofmann beheaded the crossbar (32nd), so it remained a narrow but deserved half-time lead.
The hitherto weak Borussia, for which Marcel Sabitzer was on the pitch until the 61st minute, equalized following the break.

Stöger almost tied the brace with a deflected shot, BVB goalie Gregor Kobel prevented the impact with a great save (68′). In the end, Bochum got the first point a week following the 0:5 debacle in Stuttgart.

Luca Waldschmidt previously scored for the billy goats (55th). Freiburg, meanwhile, celebrated a home win once morest Werder Bremen in the very last minute.
